An Odd Obsession - Three Women Spend Thousands To Become "Human Barbie Dolls"

By: Alexander Burns | October 10, 2018

Whether it’s action figurines or Barbie dolls, kids’ toys can have a formative effect on the development of your children. Unfortunately, this London woman’s love of Barbie dolls seems to have taken an obsessive turn.

Rachel Evans, a 46-year-old single mother from Essex, has spent thousands of pounds on cosmetic surgery to make her face and body resemble a Barbie doll.

Ms. Evans has spent eleven years and more than £20,000 to achieve her life’s dream of becoming a human version of a Barbie doll. The most prominent and expensive cosmetic procedures that Ms. Evans has undertaken include: breast augmentation, a nose job, cheek reconstruction, facial contouring and a jaw tightening procedure.

The young mother’s house is also littered with Barbie dolls, Barbie books, and other playthings.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Ms. Evans emphasized her newfound love for her appearance, saying: “I feel like Barbie, I think like Barbie and I am Barbie. I think me and Barbie are the same person. I am a human doll.”

Ms. Evans’ body and facial features are a far cry from photos of her as a 31-year-old woman. Older photos of Ms. Evans show her with black hair and with a more generic gothic look.

The Barbie fanatic told journalists from the Daily Mail that she is “hooked” to Botox and regularly pays for lip fillers and other enhancement procedures. Ms. Evans also reported that she keeps her body fit and healthy, ‘like Barbie,’ by going to the gym 5 days a week.

Ms. Evans works as a model and television personality, appearing on the popular Channel 5 reality TV show, ‘OMG: My Barbie Body’. The mother-of-one stars alongside 2 other Barbie-obsessed women, including Kerry, ‘Britain’s only Barbie’, another woman from Essex who has spent over £100,000 to better resemble a human Barbie doll.

While Kerry is married to a man named Darren, Ms. Evans is still searching for a suitable partner, someone who can be a human ‘Ken doll’ with her. Kerry has ominously joked that, if Darren tried to pressure her into giving up her lifestyle, she would instantly divorce him.

However, Darren has affirmed his devotion to his wife, telling the Daily Mail that the key to a healthy relationship is to ‘be supportive’.

On ‘OMG: My Barbie Body’, Ms. Evans has briefly mentioned that her perfect partner left her because she was “too full on.” Nevertheless, Ms. Evans remains committed to her ‘Barbie’ lifestyle, and has even paid for photoshoots of her posing as a vacant, inanimate doll.

Alongside her role as a TV personality, Ms. Evans also writes about her lifestyle on her website.

The third star of ‘OMG: My Barbie Body’ is a webcam performer named Jade. Living in Bath, in south-west England, Jade has spoken about the darker side of her Barbie lifestyle, telling the Daily Mail that men look at her breast size and think of her as “a piece of meat.”

In time, Jade hopes to move on from her current job and become a Playboy model.
